Young Newcastle United midfielder Matty Longstaff takes centre stage in the official matchday programme for the Carabao Cup second round tie against Leicester City on Wednesday night (7:45pm kick-off).
The 19-year-old sat down for an exclusive, eight-page interview with UNITED this week, as he reflects on a memorable summer – in which he bagged his first senior goal in the friendly win over Saint-Étienne at St. James’ Park – and his hopes of making a competitive debut for his boyhood club.
There are also regular columns from head coach Steve Bruce and captain Jamaal Lascelles inside Wednesday’s issue, while former Magpies frontman Michael Bridges – who made his Newcastle debut against Leicester – looks back at his six-month loan spell at the club under Sir Bobby Robson.
Club historian Paul Joannou recalls a little-known story about a boardroom tussle at St. James’ Park during the very early days of the League Cup, and also keeps track of United personalities past and present in his history blog feature.
